Overview

• Kevin Rodriguez Zavala, 32, died after riding Stardust Racers; the medical examiner attributed the death to multiple blunt impact injuries and ruled it an accident.
• Deputies arrived around 9:20 p.m. to CPR underway near the tracks, and a witness reported he was found on the platform bleeding with a leg injury.
• Reports say he used a wheelchair and had a preexisting spinal condition and was taking medication, though officials have not identified those factors as causal.
• Universal says it is cooperating with authorities as state inspectors and the ride’s manufacturer review the case, and there is no timetable to reopen the 133-foot coaster.
• State records note two earlier health-related rider incidents on Stardust Racers since May, neither fatal, as fans post tributes and organize donations.
